Frozen Four

[min]

[quote billhoward]
Miami's appearance in the final four is a reminder of how hard it will be for Cornell to win that third NCAA hockey title. [/quote]

what's the over/under (in number of years) before that happens? :-| anybody got a reliable crystal ball, or a mathematical model that works?

Yeah, an eastern team won in 1970 too, I just can't remember who it was...  ::idea::[/quote]

I remember Dryden was their goaltender.

Didn't look like a choke by Miami to me. Looked like BU pulled out all the stops and played a great minute and a half of 6x5 hockey. Frankly, it looked like Miami was overwhelmed - and they still nearly won the game with a second left. If BU had let that happen, THAT would have been an epic choke.

Now I've got to go find the GWG on YouTube since I forgot to account for OT when I set my DVR. (Choke: ugarte.)

Edit: Ouuuuuuuuch. And I was thinking what a terrible game Colby Cohen had been having. I don't think he'll see it as a bad game anymore...

Rather than start another thread, I'll post this here:

In the final poll, Miami is both 2nd and 4th.  And Cornell inexplicably gets dropped below Northeastern, while Bemijdi jumps up 3 spots in losing to Miami.

Who votes in these things???

[Josh 03]

Whoever they are, I suspect they're not Notre Dame fans.

Does anyone know when the previous poll was done?

I love that 2nd place Miami was 4th last week and 4th place Miami was 2nd previously.

One of the many reasons it is silly to have a poll after the season: there is no way that Bemidji is one of the top ten teams in the country.  They had a great run in the tournament and hats off to them for that.  But getting to the Frozen Four doesn't make you one of the best four teams, it just makes you one of the four left standing.

That's a huge travesty. From a 1 seed to NO VOTES. Pretty harsh penalty for dropping a game to the #9 team in the country.
Nevermind. I assume that the Miami that dropped from #2 to #4 is actually Notre Dame.

So if Bemidji had won the frozen four would they not be the best team in the country?

It depends entirely on what your definition of "best team" is.

No, they wouldn't be the best team in the country.  I'm pretty confident that that team is and would still be BU.  But Bemidji would be the national champion, which is what they are playing for.

It was interesting to see what nonparticipating school had the most fans based on jerseys.  Minnesota seemed to be on top.  A lot of North Dakota – they will definitely send a good contingent to Lynah.  Also a  solid representation from New Hampshire and Maine.  (The Maine contingent surprised me after their generally feeble showing at Estero over the years.)  A number from Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State.  Some BC, Denver and Colorado College.  Among the ECAC Cornell had the most by a pretty wide margin, Clarkson second.  A wide scattering of other schools, St. Cloud State, Union, Bowling Green, Massachusetts, etc.  Of the Ivies I did see two-three Dartmouth and Princeton supporters, one Brown, one Yale.  But Harvard?  Not one.  In two nights.

I saw one Harvard jersey walking into the final on Saturday night.

I found a few RPI fans as well. Didn't see any Union though.
